Rate: £450–£500 per day
IR35: Outside IR35
Contract: Initial contract with potential for ongoing work
Ready to take your commercial expertise into complex engineering and process projects?
This is an opportunity to take ownership of the commercial side of major engineering projects, working closely with the Project Manager and Planner across delivery, change and commercial close-out.
You’ll work across a varied project portfolio within food, beverage, manufacturing and industrial environments
The roleAs Senior Quantity Surveyor, you’ll take responsibility for the commercial management of engineering and industrial projects, with a particular focus on NEC4, change management and project controls.
You’ll be responsible for:
- Managing NEC4 contracts and ensuring contractual processes are followed
- Managing change control, variations and Compensation Events
- Cost control, forecasting and CVR reporting
- Managing extensions of time and delay mechanisms
- Managing subcontractor and supplier agreements
- Reviewing project scope and ensuring changes are recorded and valued correctly
- Maintaining robust commercial records throughout the project
- Working closely with the Planner to understand programme impact and associated commercial implications
- Identifying commercial risks and areas where the business could be exposed
- Supporting projects through to commercial close-out and final account
You’ll have a strong Quantity Surveying or commercial background, ideally gained within engineering, M&E, manufacturing, industrial, infrastructure, utilities or process environments.
Mechanical installation or engineering project experience would be particularly valuable, alongside strong NEC4 and contractual knowledge.
You’ll ideally have experience with:
- NEC4
- Compensation Events
- Change control and variations
- CVR and forecasting
- Extensions of time and delay
- Subcontract management
- Mechanical / M&E projects
- Working closely with Planning teams
Experience within food & beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical or automated production environments would also be beneficial.
Why consider it?Rather than working on traditional construction projects, you’ll have the opportunity to manage the commercial side of technically interesting engineering and process projects, with genuine ownership across the project lifecycle.
The role offers Outside IR35 status, a rate of £450–£500 per day, and flexibility between project sites, the office and home working.
The initial requirement is contract-based, with potential for ongoing work as the project pipeline develops.
Monday–Friday | 8 hours per day | Flexible working arrangements
Mileage is paid at 45p per mile.
Interested?If you're an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor with NEC4 and engineering project experience, get in touch for an informal conversation about the opportunity.
